2 The scene where Chang Ming tells Yun Yichu that his fortune might have used up the merits of his next three lives is heavy. It made me think about the cost of success. Is it worth it if you burn out your karma? His grandfather pushed him so hard, and now he’s paying with his lifespan. That’s a brutal metaphor. It makes the story feel deeper than a simple ghost story.
I like that Su Yang’s spirit body is a sheep. Sheep are typically herbivorous prey animals, but hers is aggressive and protective. That defiance of expectations is cool. The sheep acts like a guard dog, headbutting threats. And it can also purify? That makes it unique. I wonder if tamers always have herbivore spirit bodies.
The scene where he watches the injured police and says “forget it” is cold. I wanted him to show remorse or guilt. But his trance focus on victory makes me suspect he’s on the spectrum. The disconnection is extreme. The story seems to favor action over emotion. That works for some, but for me, it lacks depth.
